So, in your opinion, what would "a decent development tool" be for someone who is a total newbie to Android development?

I use Unity, but that was a decision dictated by what my colleague knew from working in defence, game, and MSM and a set-in-concrete project deadline. We also had to target IOS and Android.
Unity is a $35-125/month subscription service, my 'seat' expires in a couple of months, it won't be renewed. IMO it would be massive overkill, especially for your first project. I only know a fraction of it.
I would favour a 'native development tool' as opposed to a 'web app development tool', the former is Java centric, the latter is HTML/CSS centric. Infoworld is a good resource for reviews of app development tools.
I won't replace Unity in the short term, if/when I need something I'll have a look then, like apps themselves, the development tools often have a short half-life.
